I am wiring a new building for voice and data using cat3 and cat5e. This is a first for me so be easy! My customer wants to use 3 big screen Plasma HDTV's to use as monitors for the computer network. I have placed, as reccomended, a cat5e and a RG6 to each computer location back to the phone/data room. Will this work for the monitore. I am just placing the wire for the computers, someone else will be doing the networking. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I wired up a school which had the phone in one location, and the PC in another, and they had me run a cable from the phone loc. to the PC loc. to enable the one port solution. Half the switch cost, and the cabling cost was much cheaper to run the link 40' rather than another one to the patch panel 300' away. If no phone in the room they pulled the plate, inserted 2 blanks, and patched the two jacks together inside the 2"x4" box.

It was a private school which I consulted with, and they tried some ideas on how to save money. Some of those included conduit in the cement to each room (in the classroom closet) from the communications room with a pull string. Sure made the cabling go cheaper to pull each room so easily, and they put the condit in themselves before the cement poured.
